Hmmm, I have a good trim maybe once a year. Other than that I just dust the ends as needed.

 

[Karonica]

Varies. I think I'm going to start doing it between 3-5 times per year.

 

[Cres81]

I get a good trim about 2-3 times a year. I found a hair dresser that trims only the damaged portion.

For the past several years, I have been trimming my hair every time I reveive a relaxer touch-up. However, I think that I will receive trims every other relaxer, per recommendation of my new and womderful JC Penney stylist.

My last trim was in February, and I don't think I'll trim again until like 2005. I do have a pair of professional shears, and I do dust maybe once or twice per year (where I hunt for split ends and cut only those).

Because I don't use heat on my hair on a regular basis and my hair is up all of the time, I don't see the need to keep it nice and neat.

I dust as needed and get a trim maybe two to three times per year professionally.

I haven't gotten a trim since I cut my hair into an ear-length bob in the Autumn of last year.

I've had a couple of dustings since then, though.

I trim about 1/4 inch off twice a year just to even up the ends.

Thats what I used to do. That turns out to be 6 or 7 trims a year! When my hair was damaged thats what it needed. Now I am going to start skipping too.

I don't trim. I plan to even my hair out after I remove my braids.

 

[Cleo]

I trim only when necessary, but I dust (1/8-1/4 inch) every two months. I do this because I wear my hair down most of the time and want to keep my ends healthy.

 

[EXSQUISIT]

about twice a year.

 

[adrienne0914]

twice a year. and for me, dusting IS a good time...

 

[CrownnGlori]

Can I ask what everyone thinks a trim is?? To me 1/4 inch is a trim.

 

[lilchanel]

I dust after every relaxer. I had terrible split ends. I started with a MAJOR trim in Feb. It's less and less with each visit.

 

[cutebajangirl]

I trim every 8 months. Once I am comfortably at bra strap I will do a major shape up.

 

[LABETT]

I trim at least twice a year and dust ends when as needed.

 

[Ayeshia]

well before i came to this bored it was like every two weeks no joke...i just hate scraggly ends but so far it has been a month and a half...im making progress

 

[jrw]

Never

I stoped trimming my hair in Jan2002. Im not in a hurry to trim them again. My mom has waist lenght hair and she doesn't trim her hair. Now that my hair is growing nicely she insists that I forget about trims. When I reach my goal I'll trim a bit then.

Twice.

When I get a relaxer to even out my ends because one side grows faster than the other.

I last got my hair trimmed November of last year. It's funny because my hair grows in layers and everybody thinks someone cut it to frame my face. I don't trim it, and I think the only time I had it trimmed was when I went to get my hair done professionally.

Now I used to cut it a lot, because from the age of 13-16 I liked to keep my hair at a half inch from shoulderlength. But I would not do maintenance trims. I just didn't feel it was necessary.

The last 5-10 years, I had been trimming about 5-6 times a year.

This year, I've already trimmed 5 times (and we're talking 1 inch to 1.5 inches a couple of those times!). However, I'm not using any heat anymore, I wear protective styles and am generally just taking better care of my hair. I don't see the split ends that I used to so I am going to start only trimming twice a year and dusting as necessary.

I had my last trim at the end of August 2003 and I don't plan on trimming again until March 2004.

Up until a couple of months ago, I was trimming at least half an inch 6 times a year to keep my ends as blunt as possible. After a trimming mishap with my beautician which has thrown me off track of my goal of brastrap by June, I am going to start trimming a lot less to catch up...probably half an inch 2 or 3 times a year.
